Attention Novices (players with fewer than 100 masterpoints). This page is for you.

Events for Novices in 2019

The events listed below are for novice players. They are either exclusively for novices, or have a novice grade within them where players only play within their grade.
Note however, in graded events some novice players (usually with a higher level of masterpoints) could be playing against players in the next grade above to establish
a more suitable playing movement.
